I'm not sure what you mean.  If you look up "define" in the GNU make
manual index:

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Name-Index_fn_letter-D

it will send you here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Multi_002dLine

which is an entire section describing this feature with examples, and
titled "Defining Multi-Line Variables".
